O objeto da presente tese é o desenvolvimento de uma proposta metodológica para planejamento energético no desenvolvimento de áreas urbanas, na escala de distritos, bairros e unidades de vizinhança. A metodologia proposta é aplicável a estudos de desenvolvimento de novas áreas urbanas, distritos ou bairros e estudos para requalificação de áreas urbanas já ocupadas, como ferramenta de suporte ao planejamento e ao processo decisório. Inicialmente, foi produzida uma base referencial dos principais condicionantes para o planejamento energético urbano, segundo o escopo considerado nesse trabalho de pesquisa. Nessa etapa foram identificadas e analisadas as interdependências entre esses fatores e sua participação no consumo energético e nas emissões de poluentes. A proposta metodológica está estruturada em dois módulos principais: Módulo 1 - Gerenciamento da Demanda de Energia, envolvendo aspectos relacionados à Morfologia Urbana, Mobilidade Urbana e Edificações, tais como densidade populacional e construída, uso e ocupação do solo, geometria de quadras e cânion urbano, sistema de transporte urbano de passageiros, sistema viário, tecnologias veiculares e combustíveis, soluções passivas em conforto ambiental e substituição tecnológica de equipamentos em edificações; e Módulo 2 - Gerenciamento da Oferta de Energia, incluindo sistemas de geração e distribuição de energia elétrica e térmica para aquecimento e resfriamento em escala urbana, inclusive com aproveitamento de recursos energéticos residuais e renováveis. Dos Módulos 1 e 2 resultam os níveis de consumo de energia e as emissões totais de poluentes, incluindo Gases de Efeito Estufa e poluentes locais. Na composição da proposta metodológica participam variáveis e parâmetros relacionados aos condicionantes de planejamento energético urbano, bem como procedimentos de cálculo que integram e compatibilizam as configurações urbanas quanto à morfologia, mobilidade, edificações, e geração de energia. Os procedimentos foram sistematizados em um conjunto de planilhas eletrônicas e gráficos comparativos, desenvolvidos para aferição da proposta metodológica, suporte na visualização de resultados e indicadores e posterior aplicação como ferramenta no planejamento de áreas urbanas. A proposta metodológica foi aplicada no caso da Operação Urbana Água Branca, no Município de São Paulo, ficando demonstrado o potencial de integração de estratégias e comprovando a tese em questão. Nas duzentas e dezessete diferentes situações configuradas por meio da metodologia proposta, foi possível identificar não apenas importantes potenciais quantitativos, mas também a contribuição relativa dos diversos condicionantes para o resultado global, em termos energéticos, urbanísticos e ambientais. Além dos cenários apresentados, a proposta metodológica permite que diversos outros possam ser configurados para outras áreas urbanas a serem desenvolvidas ou requalificadas, desde que as variáveis e os parâmetros sejam adequadamente adaptados a cada realidade. / The subject of this thesis is the development of a methodology for energy planning in the development of urban areas, in the scale of districts and neighborhoods. The proposed methodology has two main applications as a tool to support strategic planning and decision-making process: studies for the development of new urban areas, districts or neighborhoods, and studies for rehabilitation of urban areas already used. Initially, a conceptual and technical approach was done about the main constraints for urban energy planning, according to the scope considered in this research. In this stage, the interrelationships among these factors and their impact in terms of energy consumption and pollutant emissions were identified and analyzed. The proposed methodology is organized into two main modules: Module 1 - Energy Demand Management, involving aspects of urban morphology, urban mobility and buildings, such as population density and built area, land use, urban blocks and urban canyon geometry, urban transport, road system, vehicle and fuel technologies, passive solutions to environmental comfort and technological replacement of equipment in buildings; and Module 2 - Energy Supply Management, including district and local systems for generating and distributing electricity and steam for heating and cooling purpose, including the use of renewable and waste energy resources. Levels of energy consumption and the total emission of pollutants, including greenhouse gases and local pollutants, result from the Modules 1 and 2. The proposed methodology involves variables and parameters related to the constraints of urban energy planning as well as calculation procedures that integrate and match the urban settings under consideration, as urban morphology, mobility, buildings, power generation and district systems. The procedures were systematized into a set of spreadsheets and charts developed to verify the proposed methodology, visualization support of results and indicators, and later application as a tool for planning of urban areas. The proposed methodology was applied to the Agua Branca Urban Operation study-case, in the city of Sao Paulo, in which the potential of integrating strategies was demonstrated. In thirty-six different situations defined by using the proposed methodology, it was possible to identify not only important quantitative potentials but also the relative contribution of various constraints to the overall result in terms of energy, urban and environmental issues. In addition to the scenarios presented, the proposed methodology allows the configuration of several other options to different urban areas to be developed or rehabilitated, but variables and parameters need to be properly adapted to each situation.

Étude de l’impact de la température et de l’humidité sur la survie et la dynamique de la ponte de la mouche du chou (Delia radicum L.)

Lepage, Marie-Pier 10 1900 (has links)
On dénombre divers modèles de simulation de la mouche du chou (Delia radicum L.), mais plusieurs comportent d’importantes lacunes au niveau des différences génotypiques de l’insecte et des paramètres utilisés. L’objectif principal de ce projet est de rassembler les informations manquantes afin de créer dans le futur un modèle bioclimatique permettant de simuler efficacement la dynamique des populations de ce ravageur. L’effet de la température et de l’humidité du sol a été mesuré sur les œufs et les larves de la mouche du chou. L’humidité n’influence la survie des œufs qu’en dessous de 25% [m/m]. L’exposition graduelle des œufs à des températures élevées au dessus de 33°C affecte également la survie. La survie des larves augmente avec la hausse des températures et de l’humidité. Nous croyons que la mouche du chou est bien adaptée aux conditions des sols organiques au Québec, et nous recommandons l’intégration de la température du sol pour les stades au sol plutôt que de l’air dans l’élaboration d’un nouveau modèle. La ponte a également été étudiée à partir de différents critères préétablis pour chacun des génotypes hâtifs et tardifs, à différentes températures. Excepté pour la pré-oviposition qui est plus longue chez les hâtifs, aucune différence n’a été observée entre les génotypes. La majorité des critères, excepté la durée d’un épisode de ponte et la mortalité des œufs, a réagit à la température. Les nouvelles informations serviront à l’élaboration ou le perfectionnement d’un modèle de simulation de la dynamique de la ponte de la mouche du chou. / Few simulation models for the cabbage maggot (Delia radicum L.) had been seen, but several include significant weaknesses for the insect genotypic differences and parameters used. The main objective of this project is to collect the missing information to create, in the future, a bioclimatic model that will efficiently simulate the dynamics of the populations of this pest. The effect of soil temperature and moisture had been measured on eggs and larvae of the cabbage maggot. Humidity affects egg survival below 25% [w/w]. Gradual exposure of eggs to high temperature above 33°C also affects survival. Under tested conditions, larvae survival increases with rising temperatures and humidities. We believe that the maggot is well adapted to muck soil in Quebec, and we recommend to incorporated soil temperature rather than air temperature for above-ground stages into the development of a new model. Egg-laying activity has also been studied from various pre-established criterions for each of the early- and late-emerging genotypes, at different temperatures. Except for the pre-oviposition which is longer for the early genotype, no differences were observed between genotypes. The majority of criterions, except for the duration of oviposition bouts and egg mortality, responded to temperature. The new information will be used for the preparation and development of a simulation model of the egg-laying dynamic of the cabbage maggot. / Réalisé en cotutellle avec Gaétan Bourgeois et avec la participation de Guy Boivin, d'Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada, du Centre de Recherche et Développement en Horticulture à Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC J3B 3E6, Canada

Impact des changements climatiques et de la variabilité génétique sur le développement et la virulence du nématode à kyste du soya (Heterodera glycines)

Gendron St-Marseille, Anne-Frédérique 05 1900 (has links)
Les invasions biologiques dans les agroécosystèmes engendrent de lourdes pertes économiques. Parmi les nombreuses espèces en cause, on retrouve les nématodes phytoparasites, vers microscopiques s’attaquant principalement aux racines. Présent dans tous les principaux pays producteurs de soya, le nématode à kyste du soya (NKS), Heterodera glycines, serait à lui seul responsable annuellement de plusieurs milliards de dollars de pertes. La rotation avec des cultivars résistants est le moyen le plus efficace de contrôler les populations de NKS, mais la surutilisation des mêmes lignées a conduit à la sélection d’individus virulents et mené à leur inefficacité. À ce jour, les mécanismes ainsi que les gènes de virulence associés au contournement de la résistance continuent de mystifier les scientifiques. Dans cette thèse, les effets des changements climatiques sur la reproduction et l’établissement du NKS ainsi que sur la phénologie de son hôte, le soya, ont été étudiés. Le premier modèle bioclimatique simulant le cycle de vie du NKS et du soya a été développé. Il a démontré que le nématode peut déjà se reproduire dans toutes les régions du Québec et que la hausse attendue des températures dans le futur proche (2041-2070) permettrait au NKS de pratiquement doubler le nombre de générations produites par saison de croissance dans toutes les régions. De plus, la production de soya issu du groupe de maturité I pourrait s’étendre à toutes les régions du Québec d’ici 2070. Une étude sur la distribution de la variabilité génétique entre 64 populations américaines et ontariennes et les gènes associés à diverses composantes bioclimatiques et leur rôle dans l’adaptation a également été réalisée. Celle-ci a révélé que la diversité génétique était très élevée entre les populations et qu’un flux de gène continu aurait facilité l’adaptation du NKS à diverses conditions bioclimatiques et son établissement dans toutes les régions nord-américaines où l’on produit du soya. Finalement, cette thèse présente l’analyse des génotypes du NKS et des gènes différentiellement exprimés sur des plants de soya résistant (Peking et PI88788) et sensible (Essex). En plus d’identifier plusieurs protéines liées à la virulence, cette étude a permis de mettre en évidence une région génomique sous forte pression évolutive. Cet îlot génique contient plusieurs répétitions en tandem qui ont divergé et dont certaines sont maintenant utilisées de façon sélective pour le contournement de différents types de résistance. / Biological invasions in agroecosystems are a major cause of economic losses. Plant parasitic nematodes are among the many species causing significant crop damages. The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is causing billions of dollars of losses in all areas where soybean is produced. Rotation with resistant cultivars is the most effective mean of controlling SCN populations, but the overuse of the same lines has led to the selection of virulent individuals and the ineffectiveness of resistance. To this day, the virulence genes and mecanisms associated with the circumvention of resistance continue to mystify scientists. In this thesis, I explored the effects of climate change on the reproduction and establishment of SCN as well as on the phenology of its host, soybean. I have demonstrated that the nematode can already reproduce in all regions of Québec and that the expected rise in temperatures in the near future (2041-2070) will allow the development of more generations per growing season in all regions. In addition, I have demonstrated that the area suitable for the production of soybean from maturity group I will expand toward the north by 2070, further facilitating the expansion of SCN. I have also explored the genetic variability among more than 64 SCN populations from North America and analyzed the genes associated with various bioclimatic components and their role in adaptation. These analyses revealed that the genetic diversity was very high among SCN populations. This diversity associated with a continuous gene flow between populations has facilitated the adaptation of SCN to various bioclimatic conditions and its establishment in all US and Canadian soybean producing regions. Finaly, this thesis presents an analysis of the SCN genotypes and the differentially expressed genes associated with virulence in two resistant soybean lines (Peking and PI88788) and susceptible Essex. This work has identified several proteins associated with virulence and allowed the discovery of a genomic region under strong evolutionary pressure. This island contains several genes in tandem duplications that have diverged and are now used selectively for overcoming different sources of resistance.
